It is not like that. They don't do anything
unless spoken to.

They are common for many Lisp projects as well,
tho right now I don't remember any names.
The thing is, at least what I've heard, sadly,
not enough people use it so the stuff in the
repos are always out of date or nobody does it.

So whenever there is a problem, and this I have
first hand experience of, upgrading it from
there won't help as that version has the same
problem as yours - because, that's where you
got it to begin with!

So those small gadgets installers-upgraders are
sort of the middle-solution between the repos -
which are ideal in a perfect world - and what
you can "self compiling".

Actually, I wouldn't mind

    M-x upgrade-emacs

and be prompted what version!
